No embellishment has been overlooked in this custom-built waterfront estate. Located in the private and gated association of Indian Harbor, this house of 6,300 sq. ft. is a masterpiece, on it’s own peninsula reaching into Long Island Sound, with superb water views from every room. It’s creative architect, Harvey Kaufman, was also the inspiration for the interior design.
A cobblestone courtyard borders the home’s exterior of fieldstone and clapboard with prominent architectural millwork. Original stonework is the attractive foundation for the attached 3 bay garage. Double doors open to the magnificent travertine floored entrance inlaid with black granite. These same floors are found throughout. The living room, combined with the dining room, announces an art deco theme. Glass doors, ceiling-to-floor, open from the main rooms to the terrace, pool and property with the waterfront horizon as the backdrop.
The media room is housed in a circular pavilion with a domed ceiling. The built-in entertainment center has a fireplace with television screen above and storage for a sophisticated sound system on either side. With one touch of a button, a movie screen descends in synchronization with fabric window shades. An oval wet bar and leather tub chairs complete this ultimate amenity. The kitchen is a glitter in granite counters, stainless steel cabinets and appliances.
A staircase of glass bent into deep curves with marble treads rises skyward from the entry to the second floor. At the head of the stair and adjacent to the master suite is the cherry paneled library with a 15 ft vaulted and coffered ceiling, fireplace and mini-bar. The master suite with soaring barrel ceiling and captivating water views hosts two spa/baths, one onyx, the other clad in blue green marble and dark cherry wood. Tucked away in an area of its own is a very generous bedroom suite overlooking the fountain and gardens below. Another private bedroom and bath allows for its own exterior exit. The third floor with full bath is a perfect fitness center or additional bedroom.
Truly unique both in design and unspoiled beauty this is one of the most enviable waterfront locations on the East coast.
